Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

[Conky 2000]

I am also not sure of the fate of the Thunderbolt on top of Sands Montessori school in Mt. Washington. They are building a completely new school, and will be tearing the old one (which the Tbolt is on top of) down. It might just be moved to the new school.

Speaking of SD-10s, does anyone know if the one at People Working Cooperatively in Bond Hill has been righted? I first found it sometime last year and it was laying on its side. Clayton said that the organization had knocked it over when putting a new roof on their building. I assumed it would be fixed fairly quickly since it's near a busy intersection (Paddock Road and Tennessee Avenue), but when I went by it again a few months ago, it was still laying on its side.

I went by there earlier this month and the SD-10 was back up, but at different location I believe.

It was originally on the garage behind their offices and visible from Tennessee just after crossing over Paddock (heading north).

It still is on the garage, but on the side of the roof closest to I-71

Hey, did anyone see my most recent post after this one on this topic?

[carexpertandy]

Was it said somewhere that it was gone?I passed it today and its either still up, or is back up

No. It is still there I drove past there on the 4th coming back from the Reds game. I had told Andy about the Tbolt on the old YMCA building on Columbia Parkway and Delta Av. The building had been torn down and the Tbolt was removed.

What replaced it?

Nothing did as of yet. The city of Cincinnati seems to be in the process of replacing all of their sirens though.

I'm sorry to say this, but I doubt it. Just like what I said above, it seems that the city is in the process of relacing all of their sirens.

Went for a drive out to western Hamilton county today and took a few more siren pics.

That model 5 in New Baltimore looks pretty rough. Is it even in use anymore? I remember someone (possibly you) saying that it wasn't part of the county system.

It still has some sort of antenna on it ,but that could also be CB radio. As for if it is still in use I could'nt say. I'll try to find out. I'm hoping it is still used. That area of the county could use all the warning sirens they can get.

It's definetly not an HCEMA siren. If it's still used, it's a fire siren. On the Hamilton County siren map, there are only the EOWSs shown in Crosby Twp, so yeah.
